D                           Bm     G         D       Bm  G
She came along like she was hiding some deep secret,
D                       Bm     G     D       Bm  G
but now she's gone and I carry on to keep it.
D                                Bm         G     D       Bm  G
The cow's are grazing, boys, the fishin's getting good.
             D                      Bm     G     D       Bm  A
If fate's an old woodpecker, I'm an old chunk of wood.

[Chorus]
G                      D            A G
Some mysteries we will...never know,
                          D             Em
the turtle dove and the crow ... made a nest.

[Verse 2]
D                           Bm     G         D       Bm  G
We shared a line etched in stone between two years
D                         Bm     G         D        Bm  G
I aim to pack my grave someday . . . and go see her
D                           Bm             G        D       Bm  G
Want to climb that ladder, Jacob won't you hold the door.
            D                      Bm      G   D       Bm  A
Just got to drop me a line this side of Jor...dan.

[Chorus]
G                      D            A G
Some mysteries we will...never know,
                          D             Em
the turtle dove and the crow ... made a nest.

D                           Bm       G           D       Bm  G
She came along like she was hiding some deep secret,
D                           Bm       G        D       Bm  G
She saw the future, boys, and I......was her ticket.
D                       Bm     G       D       Bm  G
The American dream ... suited us just fine.
       D              Bm    G        D
I'm a-layin down easy in my time of dying.
